present Ahruman and Co. (the developers) have no plans to develop either Oolite or a separate branch to accommodate either an MMORPG or an MOG (Multi-player Online Game). This, however, doesn't mean one of you clever bods out there can't try ;-)

No. Champions of Norrath is SOE's first single-player focused console action game. While there is an online component, the game is centered around an exciting campaign designed for a single player.

There are not yet a lot of players in this game yet and when connecting to the Ysagoon Online Gaming [YOG] server it may be empty most of the time . But there's a trick: when connecting to the YOG server, the game also connects you to the IRC #glob2 channel on irc.globulation2.org where always several people are connected. You can chat with them just as you would chat with another person inside of YOG.

San Andres will be more geographically sophisticated than Liberty, they felt that the flat terrain of Vice City took away the feeling of depth. Expect mountains, hills, and flatlands.

The short answer: No. Will Wright describes Spore's on-line feature as Asyncronous Sharing. Spore is unique in that while it has multiplayer elements involved there will be no direct live contact with other players. Players' created content gets saved to a master server and will be downloaded by the client-software of other players. In this way, a player will interact with the content created by another player in a non-intrusive manner.

Yes. I've decided to make the game centered around a solid multiplayer experience. There can be up to 6 players in a server, each controlling their own gang. There is an arbitrary team system in the game, allowing any combination of players/gangs so you can co-operate with others online. You'll be able to give orders to other players from the RTS perspective, then jump down and help them complete the task.

online RPG connects to a network server. Like former similar RPGs, your character will grow and advance in the world. Players from around the world are united, allowing them to form parties and experience thrill and adventure together.

No. Health and mana regenerate naturally over time, and players will not be required to drink potions to restore either. That being said, having potions is a useful way to further minimize downtime (at some cost). However, most consumable items have cooldowns to prevent them from being consumed in rapid succession.

When I talk about roleplaying games (outside of video game -related sections), I'm referring to so called 'pen and paper' or 'tabletop' roleplaying games, a genre of games created in the 1970s with the release of the famous Dungeons & Dragons.

ArtMoney is not intended for multiplayer or online games. ArtMoney allows you to change values stored on your PC. Whether ArtMoney works in multiplayer/online-games or not depends on where the user-data is stored (if it is stored on the server PC or if it is stored on your PC). If the user-data is stored on the server PC then the server holds the actual values. The values on your PC are just local copies of the user-data.

Several new multiplayer game options have been added to Yuri's Revenge. There's also a new multiplayer mode, Team Alliance. Likewise, Westwood Online has been enhanced to be more user-friendly. [back to top]

Freedom Force comes with full multiplayer support. The multiplayer game is designed to take advantage of the tactical combat and RPG features of the game but employ them quite differently. Currently Freedom Force supports deathmatch on over a dozen made-for-multiplayer maps.

Right on! The multiplayer is going to be very special, with some fields no one has ever done before. We now feel like the first pioneers in space- venturing into the unknown where no one has been before! But seriously, the ideas we have could change the strategy multiplayer gaming forever- and it is too early to reveal these ideas. Ok. First there will be the classic skirmish mode, with lots of customizable parameters.

First of all, check the manual that comes with the game. If you have Warchest, put the CD in the drive and one of the options that appears should lead to the manual. If you are still having trouble, ask in our Stronghold Multiplayer or Crusader Multiplayer forums...Back to top

You can only start a multiplayer game if you own that particular game AND have registered it. IMPORTANT: if you own a demo, you can only start a multiplayer game with other players if they also have a copy of it. The same principle also applies to full versions. Once you have logged into the Lobby, you can see a list of the games currently supported by the BBGC by clicking on the “Games” entry. Then click on the game desired in this list or the game’s icon (e.g.

The multiplayer game offers three modes of play. Although the fundamental gameplay is the same, each game 'plays' very differently. The first mode of play - the traditional multiplayer game - uses the same world as the single player campaign. The second mode of play - a user definable game (from a list of options) - is meant to play in a much shorter timeframe.

Only a 'hotseat' mode at the same computer.. A game of this nature, I believe, isn't well suited for multi-player, at least not actively. However, there does exist small communities that like to play multiplayer kind of games, scenarios and such where the winner is the one to reach the objective or highest score over some time period. I would like to build functionality into the game to support these kinds of games.
